Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but Musk had become a liability for Tesla for certain. The once "Tony Stark" has had a serious of Twitter meltdowns and absurd business proposals.

Twitter meltdowns are a very Tony Stark thing.
lol...he had a spell with some poor choices no doubt, but calling him a liability is a little much. One hopes he learned from his episodes.

He caused the SEC investigation that probably impacted them enough to miss the targets mentioned in the article. He also has a DOJ investigation in progress against him and Tesla. He is a liability.
Tesla's product is their stock. Musk is a liability iff removing him would cause the stock price to go up. I highly doubt that.
You can’t be serious, that is not how the stock market works. Tesla sells cars, cars are their product. You could make an argument they are some kind of energy company with the powerwalls and solar gear.
People are buying into Elon’s vision, Tesla is just a vehiclefor realizing this vision. Without Elon, Tesla is astagnating company, and people will buy whatever Elon comes up with next instead.
